How to stop "NetCfgTrace" ETL session on windows 8 constantly dumping netcfgx.0.etl at high rate? (it re-appears when deleted/stopped)

Hi,
I noticed constant disk activity - reads and writes to c:\windows\inf\netcfg.[0,1,2,3,4].etl files at about 30kb/sec.
I found the source: in the Performance Monitor -> Event trace sessions - there was session called "NetCfgTrace" with the trace provider "{41e8e8f3-7b6d-488e-b350-f696dd24afb6}"
If I stop (and even delete this session) it gets re-created and resumed in a few seconds.
My question is: how to find out who (which service) starts this session? Hopefully then I'll be able to figure out how to disable it.
Thanks
Alex.
More info: I have visual studio 2012 installed for windows phone development with HyperV - I suspect it could be related.
It's win 8 pro 64.

c:\windows\inf\NetCfg*.etl files are written as a side-effect of some application using the INetCfg APIs. There is apparently some application that is constantly calling the API, which will cause a constant stream of activity to the log file.
It is unusual to call the API repeatedly; usually the API is used once and then the application closes the API.
The easy way to get an idea of which application is calling the API is to use "tasklist /m netcfgx.dll" (or Process Explorer handle search) to see which processes have loaded netcfgx.dll. A more precise way is to open the .ETL file in a tool
like TraceView to see which process ID is writing out all those events.

How to stop HP Annoying Status Message Windows?

Before posting this message now (July/2014) I've searched for related posts here. I found one from 2009, whose author got a solution through an answer only in 2012 (pasted bellow). I have the same problem: I'd like to stop the invasive alert messages from HP Solution Center without uninstalling the software, which is very good, but for these annoying stupid messages. I say stupid messages, because everytime I seat in front of my desktop it insists telling me, for example, that I have a problem: the language in my HP printer doesn't match the language in my computer. But this is not a problem, it is my personal option! Anyway, HP Solution Center keeps poping up everytime I awake my screen and this is really annoying, even it its messages were accurate. HOW TO STOP THEM? As I said, the solution found here in the forum after 3 years (2009-2012) doesn't work for me, because there is no "status messages" in my "device settings" (Windows 7), so I could turn them off. I'd appreciate any help!

Hello Fernando_int, and welcome to the HP Forums.
I see you are recieving false errors. I would like to assist.
I would suggest Uninstalling the Printer Software.
Once it is uninstalled, I would suggest putting your system into clean boot mode within the Microsoft configuration. You can do so by following this document: How to perform a clean boot in Windows.
Once the computer is in clean boot mode, I would suggest reinstalling the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows.
Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

How to stop the internal batch session

Hi ,
How to stop the internal batch session, which is triggered from the program.
When I execute the program, there is an batch session, which starts processing in parallel with the program, and causes an error message for the program, so the further process is affected.
I tried finding the session through the Transactions - SM35, SM37. However, I could find any session in my name.
However, when I try thro SM04, I could find an session with the same error message. But I am not able to end the session.
Pleas advise.
Thanks,
cartesian.

Go through transaction SM50. In case you have more than one application server (transaction SM51 will show) you can also use SM66 which will show all running processes on all application servers.
With SM50 you will only see the process running if it is running on the same application server you are logged on to.
Mark the process and use menu 'Program/Session - End Session' or 'Process - End with or without Core'
Hope that helps,
Michael

How to stop annoying auto scrolling in window

I'm running 10.8.5. Since upgrading to 10.8.5 from 10.6.x, my system has been doing two VERY annoying things.
1. Within a window, if I have a file selected (highlighted), say at the bottom of the window. Then I scroll all the way to the top (not selecting any other file), and the selected file is off screen (can't see it). I would then copy a file from another window to the first window (the file being copied starts with "A" so it should show up where I scrolled to at the top in the first window), once it's finished copying over, the window will automatically scroll down to the file I had selected earlier. Without fail. This actually happens with any other activity being done on my system. Window ALWAYS scroll to the highlighted file where ever you are in the window. This has never happened with 10.6.x or earlier OS X.
2. This one seems to happen randomly. Whenever I select a file to change it's name (doing a single click on the name bar), instead of the file I hit being editable, 10.8.5 would select a random file down the list instead. Making THAT file editable.
Anyone else experience these? Is there a fix, or an option somewhere to turn these ridiculous features off?
I really don't know what Apple is doing these days. But it certainly is no longer the user friendly and reliable system I've used for over 20 years. It's all about glitz and glam, no real functionality for old school power users. Instead of being a unique system like it used to be, it's now just a glorified version of PC. Just costs a lot more.

How to stop the Company Code popup window in MIRO!

Hi,
When User logs in the system and enters into the MIRO transaction, he is asked to enter the Company Code first in order to proceed further. I know that once you enter the company code then the system does not ask it to enter again during that login, however, it will asks again whenever User login the system again!
Can someone tell that how to stop this Company Code popup window in MIRO, so that the system should not ask for the Comp Code whenever User logs in and enters into MIRO? I think there are some entries maintained in the User Master for this!
Thanks.

Hi,
It is Necessary for the user to enter the company code for which he need to process the Invoice.
First think is if the user knows ,that he is only going to do for one company code.then
in the T code SU3.
In the parameter TAB
you can make the Default value for the parameter ID BUK as your Comany Code value ( Eg 1000)
so that when ever the user does the MIRO ,it comes with that company code only.
and if he want to do for another comapany code ,he has to use the option of Switching the comapny code.
so this is user dependent and has to be made for all users.
Note .the above setting works only you have entered saved and logged off and log in again.
also ,this value gets defaulted you all the comapny codes in all screen.
Hope so it helps.
Regards
Anjanna.

Er... good luck with that. :) If you know the shortcut that was used to launch the current window, you could pass that shortcut path to Start-Process, but that would only work if you did not move or resize the original window, etc. For

Everytime I open Firefox I get the irritating pop-up window "Firefox wants to use the Font "Stone Sans Sem OS ITC TT Semi" on the volume, the font is not installed. I installed the font, but I still get it.
The window gives me options "Do not ask again" "Show in Finder" "Don't Allow" "Allow".
I click "Do not ask me again" and "Allow" but I keep getting this every time. How to stop it?! Thanks.

'''You can still have the old messages''', to make sure you get your tabs restored immediately, but with or without the messages and whichever way you respond to the message you can still get back your previous session through the History menu. (see item #31 "tabslost")

How to stop Windows from mounting a usb fat32 flash drive

Here's the problem. I have 4 identical Sandisk Cruiser 32GB flash drives. Windows has never mounted these drives in the past, until several months ago. Now Windows is mounting 2 of these drives but not the other 2. When the drives get mounted I end
up with about 5GB of files being added to each drive because they now show System Volume Information and the Recycle Bin. The amount of data added varies depending on the system I plug up to. On one Win 7 machine it can add up to 10+ GB. I would like to
be able to use the entire space for my backups but am unable to. These two drives are only used for Music and Videos. Is there a way to stop these two drives from being mounted in windows systems?
Thanks, Bill

Sorry but my figures are not exaggerated. Right now on this machine "System Volume Information" is showing as 3.2 GB and "Recycle Bin" is showing as 2.9 GB. I don't own these computers I use so I can't make changes to them such
as emptying the recycle bin. I only use portable applications from my flash drives on friends systems. By windows loading these two folders to my flash drives it it effectively stopping me from being able to use all the space.
Now as I mentioned in the first post, windows is only loading the SysVolInfo and recycle bin folders to 2 of the 4 drives. I am able to use ChkDsk on the two drives that are unaffected by windows but not on the other two. I get the message that windows
can't check the volume while it is in use and would I like to check it at startup. This always fails because, I think, These computers do not recognize the usb drives until windows is loaded. I have a work around for this in a utility that will unmount the
two drives and run ChkDsk and then remount them.
This doesn't answer the question though as to why all of a sudden this is happening to 2 of the 4 drives? And on several different machines? Windows does assign a drive letter to all 4 drives as it always has however the 2 drives without the system
folders are able to be scanned in windows without unmounting them.
I would really appreciate any insight into this behavior I could get.
Thanks, Bill
